THIS should be the model on How To Make an Instructional Video. There's no two-minute intro, no stupid music, no begging to 'like' the vid, etc. It's completely direct, to the point, and clearly explained. BRAVO!

This is the kind of YT video I love - no fancy graphics - intro is literally on paper, but teaches you solid, valuable skills you can use right away. Cheers mate well done~

Excellent. Simple yet I learned a ton. I usually cut bowl blanks out & don’t practice enough on small items. 👍

Thank you, James, for the great tips. I've had a scroll saw for years and just ordered a band saw. While waiting for it to arrive, I'm watching tutorial videos because I know there are some significant differences. This was very informative. Keep up the good work.

what brand did you choose?

Thank you, this is great content. Having that practice block (with the 90°, tight curve, etc.) Is a great way to learn and teach new techniques.

I just bought a new band saw and I watched your presentation, and was very impressed. Thanks. Jake

Excellent - just what I needed to know. Very informative. Many thanks!

Good tutorial IMO. It never ceases to amaze me that there are a bunch of know it alls that just have to make snarky comments. I'm a relative beginner and can always learn from how someone else does an easy job. Thanks James. Keep 'em coming.

Perhaps those "snarky" "know-it-alls" know a bit more than you, or this guy. Come on, he's using a felt tip maker to mark his lines. Did he mention that bandsaw blades come in various sizes, including ones for really tight curves? Don't judge a tutorial, or others trying to offer advice, until you're skilled enough to legitimately do so.

@@dwightstewart7181 I'm guessing he used the marker so his lines showed up clearly on camera. Also the video title says tips, not the experts guide, These are all good tips for the beginner.

Thank you for this quick tips, very useful!

Really helpful. Just acquired a bandsaw and this is just the guidance I need. Thanks!

I've done some wood working. Built one set of kitchen cabinets. Never have used a band saw. Been watching various videos, may be elementary but helpful none the less. To all those complainers, you can always change the channel.

That's really helpful - and very well presented!

just started using a band saw. Got a carter guide. Wise advise given here with respect to the guide height. Even with the carter guide I forget to do check the height.

Wow!! What fantastic tips. Boy, was I sure doing it wrong. Thanks heaps.

Thanks for the tips, James. I will certainly use them.

6:12 - for me, pulling the work piece back out usually results in the blade coming off the wheels.

Might just need to slow down and give it some wiggle wiggles but it sounds like you probably don’t have enough tension on your blade.

Well done. Worth watching. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you so much for this helpful guide, I have learned something that definitely is going to help me because I have a scroll machine and I have not much practice on it lol. This is an awesome idea👍👍😊.

Thank you, I’m getting my bandsaw tomorrow with zero experience and Im sure this video is going to be very useful.

Just got a new band-saw too. Still learning. Thanks for the helpful video.

Good information. Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely superb tutorial. Keep sharing.

Very well done! Thanks for the information 👏👏👏

Good tutorial on how to use a bandsaw.

Thanks for the tips! I could hear you well. And the arrows did help in your description of the direction of the cuts - Al

Thanks very useful info on bandsaw trix greets from Sweden

Thanks for the cool techniques

thanku this video has made me more confident

Very nice. Thank you. BTW, I actually stepped back when I saw that bandsaw sparking. Too funny

People forget that there are newbies comming along behind them

Great video..this really helped me alot😊

Really informative very good tip keep it up.

Great video. Clear and well explained

Btw the gullet of the blade needs to be in the centre of the crowned wheel so the guides stop it from fishtailing and that will help your accuracy

that was a very nice and informative video. good show, thank you.

Thank you for sharing your video 👍

Nice, clean and precise presentation! BTW what width band are you using?

Excellent video

Great video. Thanks. PS What size blade is that and what causes the sparks?

Nice video! That’s how it’s done in a machine shop cutting steel also.

Good explanation, thanks for your help.

Muito boa sua dicas. Obrigado amigo.

Is that a 1/4-inch wide bandsaw blade? They show 3/16-inch wide and 1/8-inch wide bandsaw blades for sale on the Internet. What is the horsepower of your bandsaw? I ask because it cuts the board easily. I am trying to determine if there is an under-powered bandsaw HP. size. Good video. Thank you.__ __A bandsaw seems better than a scroll-saw. Scroll-saw blades begin at 1/4-inch online. A scroll-saw has a rough, vibrating, motion of a jigsaw. Your band-saw is smooth and vibration free.

Clear excellent explanation. Thanks.

Useful info and well-made video thanks

Thanks for the video! You may need to tune up your band saw. The bearing should not touch the blade when not cutting. Most likely you did that by this point.

Just got first b saw u help greatly!T.y.

thank you for the tips.

Great video James, I recently purchased a used craftsman 10" bandsaw, what size blade would you recommend for a beginner? It can handle 1/8 to 1/2 " width blade.

Good info for a guy yet to unpack his ryobi ban saw.

Excellent. Thank you

Thanks great video very helpful.

Awesome tutorial

Brilliant and very well presentation

you teach better than my teacher

Some great tips, thanks!

Thanks so much for the education, this is great!!

Good demonstration

Sweet, thank you.

Awesome tips. But the thing which grabbed me was the captions in the beginning of the clip :D :D :D

Great video. Would a scroll saw be better for this application?

#James Wilson Awesome Tutorial man, thank you for sharing!

Sujestão: pense como estivesse dirigindo e manobrando um veículo

Wow, awesome!

Looks good. Any tips on preventing blade drift on a cheapo Harbor Freight special? Can't afford a better saw, I'm a rank amateur woodworker, so it's still better than rocking a jigsaw.

Muy buena informacion! Gracias.

Hi, this helps me very much. Thank you.

ty time to go practice :)
